Oh I pray It will be only sold to someplace or someone that truly preserve every piece as well as shows into the world and maybe even start a place to keep adding to the collection

This is my kind of hoarding! The thrill of the hunt, and curating beautiful collections.

As a collector of Black Americana myself, I have about 3000 items in my collection. To see her phenomenal assemblage of historical artifacts, encourages me to continue acquiring more items.

The Pokémon reference came as a surprise, stemming from the fact that I had just beaten Legends Arceus yesterday.
